One Off Pieces In The LA Home of An Artist and Designer

I've been writing daily posts since 2011 and sometimes I sit back and marvel at the endless pool of unique living spaces. It's completely nuts! Pick a scheme and you'll find home upon home with beautiful yet personal variations on it. Take 'sepia' as an example. Lately we've drooled over the warm and inviting homes of Audrey Rivet, Émilie Desjarlais and Malia Grace Mau. And today I discovered the home of Kirill Bergart. Originally from Ukraine, Kirill is an artist and designer residing in Los Angeles. Kirill's passion for art and architecture has taken him on a creative journey which includes painting, graphic design, photography, furniture and design - and last year he opened his first brick and mortar store - County Ltd. Kirill's 'sepia' home is full of one of a kind objects (including some of his own art and furniture), rich textures and subtle variations along the gold harvest colour spectrum.  Put your feet up and enjoy!

Kirill's main focus is designing, sourcing and curating one of a kind objects for County Ltd, with a strong focus on his interiors brand, Counter-Space. Pottery and sculptural items like the ones seen on the shelf in his sitting room are available through his online store.

'Harvest gold' tones throughout the home work thanks to the combination of rich textures such as  leather, felt, jute, canvas, stone and wood - all of which help to add depth.

I do love a vintage leather sofa, how about you?! This is a great place to bargain hunt*!

How harmonious is this bedroom?!

This could quite possibly be the first ever wall-to-wall carpet I've featured on My Scandinavian Home - can you believe that?! I have to say, it would feel so nice to step out of bed in the winter with this under foot, don't you think?!

What an incredible home! It almost makes me want to change direction in my own house - I've already started with the browns tones in my bedroom and office - perhaps it's time to take it a step further. Hmmm!

It's also a perfect example of how whittling down your belongings to a few treasured items helps you to more easily see the beauty of each piece. 

Does Kirill's home inspire you too?

For more pics and to find out more about Kirill's work hop on over to his Instagram feed and website. Or if you're lucky enough to be in the Silver lake area of LA - his store looks like an absolute must!

Have a great start to the week! This is going to be a good one. I feel it!

Dreamy Escape: The Cottage, Byron Bay

As far as holiday rentals go, The Cottage in Byron Bay, Australia is pretty much everything you could ask for! Not only is the location amazing (this coastal town is way up on my list of places to visit, is it on yours too?!), it's been decorated in true Byron Bay style - relaxed, open and friendly with a hint of tropical surfer chic. The cottage was re-designed to retain it's original timbers and features - but given a fresh, modern update with white washed walls and a load of natural materials and vintage furniture (we like!). Oh and did I mention the plunge pool and spa - as well as an outdoor bathtub and shower? I'm seeing a soak under the stars followed by an Aperol spritz on the terrace! Fancy joining me?!

The linen sofa is so pretty! Try the linen Bemz Urban Loose Fit covers (which are designed to fit many IKEA sofas).

This bedroom set-up is so simple yet so pretty. I love the formula: white wood cladding, botanical oil painting, white linen bedding*, light grey pillows* and a hanging plant (this macrame hanger with glass pot* is similar). Perfect!

Rattan hanging chair*

I love an outdoor bathtub (who wouldn't love a soak under the stars?!). In fact, my dream summer cottage has an entire outdoor bathroom and a hot tub like this! What do you think?

Oh. My. Word. I need to book flights. This place is so worth the long haul from Copenhagen. That sun longer has my name on it!

Could you imagine hanging out here for a week or two too?!

For bookings visit The Cottage at  Byron Beach Abodes. It sleeps 6 but just in case all your mates want to come (and who can blame them?) it can be rented together with The Chapel (how nice is that?!). I also love Magnolia House!

Meet you for sundowners Feb 2019?!

More beautiful holiday rentals here!

Have a *dreamy* weekend friends!
